My local news station (KTHV, CBS affiliate in Little Rock) just went to commercial, but on the list of things they would discuss when they came back: people were having trouble accessing and using twitter.
[Insert the thread's title here]
I mean, are we really that f*cking devoid of news to report? Why... why does this even matter? I mean, let's think about what the hell twitter even is! it's essentially sending text messages that everybody in the world can look at, but almost nobody wants to. The day that this is news is the day they should just reserve the entire 10:00 broadcast for showing random pictures that the viewers send in.
There's a story like this that's being used as filler in just about every local news broadcast... it makes me wonder why they even give them 4 broadcasts a day? Just, like, cut the commercial breaks and the filler stories, and make it 15 minutes instead of 30. then, fill the next 15 minutes with the weather report graphics on the left side and commercials running on the right, and the viewers save time, the network saves money (15 minutes of commercials > 8 minutes) and nobody has to listen to pointless bullsh*t waiting for something they want to hear about to come up.
